Influence of successive oxygen saturations of a grape juice, supplemented or not with laccase, on its color and hydroxycinnamic acids concentration

Abstract

Aim: This work studies how successive O2 saturations affects the color and hydroxycinnamic
acids concentration in the absence and presence of laccase from B. cinerea with the aim of better understanding the browning processes.

Materials and methods: Grapes of Muscat of Alexandria were harvested and pressed with a vertical press to extract 60% of their juice. Aliquots of 30 mL of this must were placed in 60 mL flasks equipped with a pill (PreSens Precision Sensing GmbH) for measuring oxygen by luminescence (Nomasense TM O2 Trace Oxygen Analyzer). These flasks were added or not with SO2 (50 mg/L) and with 2 UA/mL of laccase from B. cinerea (Giménez et al., 2022). All operations were carried out with a continuous nitrogen stream to protect the grape juice from air oxygen. The grape juices were then saturated in O2. The flasks were kept at 20±2 °C and O2 was monitored (Diéval et al., 2011). Once O2 was completely consumed, this operation was repeated twice to reach a total of three O2 saturations. Absorbances at 420, 320 and 280 nm were determined in all the samples. Hydroxycinnamic acids and GRP were analyzed by RP-HPLC-DAD-ESI-MS (Lago-Vanzela et al., 2013).

Results and discussion: Samples without SO2 and laccase consumed O2 after the 2st saturation in around 1 hour with an initial O2 consumption rate (OCR) of 0.262±0.009 mg of O2/minute. Surprisingly, no significant differences were found in the OCR of the samples supplemented with laccase in the 1st saturation (0.266±0.075). However, the OCR decreased significantly for the 2nd and 3rd saturations in the case of the samples without laccase (0.128±0.003 and 0.101±0.011 respectively) whereas no significant decrease was observed when laccase was present (0.268±0.013 and 0.238±0.049 respectively). The supplementation with SO2 almost completely inhibited OCR in both cases, without and with laccase (0.006±0.002 and 0.011±0.003 respectively). The A420 nm (yellow color) increased after each saturation and this augmentation was significant higher in the samples supplemented with laccase. In contrast, the A320 nm (hydroxycinnamic acids) and A280 nm (total phenolic compounds) do the opposite. Finally, caftaric and cutaric acids and in a minor extent fertaric acid concentrations decreased after each saturation and this decrease was very similar in the samples supplemented or not with laccase. In contrast, the samples supplemented with SO2 hardly showed changes in the different absorbances or in the hydroxycinnamic acids.

Conclusions:

These results confirm that SO2 is very effective to prevent browning even in the presence of laccase. This data also indicate that the presence of laccase provokes higher browning even consuming the same O2 than without its presence, probably because can use more substrates than natural grape tyrosinase

Ampelograpic and genetic characterisation of grapevine genetic resources from Ozalj-Vivodina region (Croatia)

Ozalj- vivodina region is small vine growing area (only about 100 hectares of vineyards), but with significant number of old, ancient vineyards planted between 50 and 100 years ago. Trend of abandoning or replanting ancient vineyards takes place for the last 30 years. This trend results in grapevine germplasm erosion because traditional varieties are replaced with well known international varieties.Few known traditional varieties are dominantly present in ancient vineyards together with many others of unknown identity. Historical data about prevalence and characteristic of varieties on this area are very poor.

The effect of wine cork closures on volatile sulfur compounds during accelerated post-bottle ageing in Shiraz wines

Reduced off-flavour is an organoleptic defect due to an excess of volatile sulfur compounds (VSC) in wine and often happening in Shiraz wines. This off-flavour is a direct consequence of the lack of oxygen flow during winemaking and bottle storage. Therefore, wine closure could have a direct impact on the formation of VSC due to the oxygen transfer rate that can modulate their levels. Even if dimethylsulfide (DMS) contributes to reduced off-flavor, it is also a fruity note enhancer in wine and its evolution during wine ageing is not well understood.

How do different oak treatment affect the sensory composition of Chenin blanc wines over time?

Wooden barrels have been the preferred method for oak maturation for wines, but the use of alternative oak products, such as staves and oak chips have increased in South Africa due to lower production costs. This study investigated the effect of different oak products used during fermentation and ageing on the sensory profile, degree of liking and perceived quality of a South African Chenin blanc wine. The different wine treatments included an unoaked tank control wine, wines matured in 5th fill barrels, wines matured in new barrels from three different cooperages, and wines matured in 5th fill barrels with stave inserts from two different cooperages.
